Who Wants to Skate?

I was commissioned by my Mom to make cards for my sisters skating coaches. Here is what I came up with.

Enjoy,

Colin

I used Cricut Cartridges:

Jolly Holidays - Girl
Create a Critter - Pond

This is another Tag card. I cut two tags to make a card.

This was made with: Celebrate With Flourish

The first card I have entered in Fantabulous Cricut: Challenge me Monday #90

• Ribbons are such a wonderful way to add detail to your Cricut creations. Whether you are making a card, designing a scrapbook layout, or creating an item to decorate your home, ribbon can be just the right embellishment to finish things off. This week, we are challenging you to use ribbon on your projects. 

The second card I have entered in Bitten by the Bug 2: Winter Frolic Tag Challenge

• The challenge was to make a Tag using Winter Frolic.

I don't have that cartridge so I improvised.

Queen 4 a Day

I made this card for my friend and co-worker. Lets flash back to September when I made a card for our boss. I had joked at the time that I thought of making her a 'Queen 4 a Day' card, but I didn't want it to go to her head. She protested and thought it would have been fitting. My rebuttal was that I thought it better suited for above said co-worker Sandy. Now back in the present, I am following though with my 'Queen 4 a Day' card.

This card was made with Cricut Cartridges:

Once Upon a Princess - Queen 4 a Day

Storybook - Marquee (behind the text)

Home Decor - Crown (inside)

Happy Birthday Sandy!

Paper Cutz Challenge #118

Paper Cutz Challenge #118 - Make a card, LO or craft project using a stamped, digital stamp or Cricut cut image of jingle bells! Use any colors you'd like! 

I Don't have 'Jingle bells' but I do have a bell. I cut strips from a DCWV - Holiday Collection pack, putting them back together on a solid green card. The bell is from Jolly Holidays, Cricut cartridge.

Ding Dong,

Winter Woodland - Christmas card

Here is a simple Christmas card I made using Winter Woodland. The count down is on and I gotta get to work on some more cards!

I have also uploaded this too: Fantabulous Cricut's Challenge # 88 - Holiday Cards

Happy December 1st,

Unicycle, Christmas Cards

I come from a family of circus performers! Not really but most would see it that way. Most of my family ride unicycles, with the exception of me. My Mom called me and asked if there was a Cricut cartridge with a unicycle. After a bit of searching I discovered two, Carnival and the one I used Jolly Holidays. My Mom said she would buy the cartridge for me if I make her a Christmas card for the leader of their unicycle club. I couldn't pass up an offer like that, so I have made a few similar looking cards to give her a choice and I can give the extras to my unicycle riding uncles. A BIG THANKS to my Mom for this new Cartridge.  

I have taken the advice of my #1 follower/commenter Susan and entered this card in Fantabulous Cricut's Challenge # 88 - Holiday Cards

Love you Mom,

Colin

Cricut Cardz Challenge #96

This challenge was: Challenge #96 "Christmas: Say It with S!" Make a card for Christmas using an image that starts with the letter S, using any cartridge(s) and any colors you'd like.

 Check it out @ Cardz Tv

Here is my creation, though not a card, I used the Skate cut from Winter Woodland to make a broach.
I tried to do this with felt first, but quickly leaned that it doesn't cut well. I cut several shadow layers and glued them together to give it some support. this is not quite finished, I would still like to lightly sand the edges to make them even. I would also like to apply a finish of some sort to protect it a bit from ware. I learned that I am not good with a glue gun, so excuse the mess of the glued backing.

Skate on,



Colin

Joy!

I want to first mention that I am sorry for my lack of posts. I have been in money saving mode and have been working like a demon. I started this with the intention of posting more than once a week. Thank you for your patience, after the holidays I will try a bit harder at posting.

My post for today is my first Christmas card! I have a few cards I have been working on, so this is the first of many. I have lots of cards to make for the holidays (finding time is another thing), so when I saw the 'Bitten by the Bug 2 - Winter Woodland...Joy Challenge' I saw it as a chance to get another card out of the way. I have been making a few cards out of Tag cuts, and so I continued that with this card. I don't have a Gypsy so I have to cut 2 layers the same and glue them together to make a card. This card was made with the Cricut - Winter Woodland cartridge. Hope you enJOY!
